Evergreen Retreat - Wellness Mountain Escape w Hot Tub, Sauna & Pickleball

YOUR PERFECT DAY AT EVERGREEN RETREAT

Imagine waking up to mountain views streaming through your bedroom window. Brew your morning coffee in the fully-stocked gourmet kitchen and step onto the deck with the crisp mountain air filling your lungs.

Spend your morning exploring nearby trails - Laurel Falls and Cades Cove are calling. Return to the cabin for a competitive pickleball match (bragging rights included). After lunch, head to Gatlinburg for shopping and sightseeing, or stay in and work remotely with blazing-fast WiFi.

As evening approaches, slip into the private sauna to melt away tension, then transition to the hot tub for a soak under the stars. Prepare dinner in your gourmet kitchen, gather around the table with your favorite people, and end the night with board games and laughter in the cozy living room.

This is the mountain escape you've been dreaming about.

SPRING (Mar-May): Wildflowers bloom, waterfalls flow strong, and moderate temperatures make hiking absolutely perfect. See the mountains come alive!

Important Septic System Information

Our cabin uses a septic system common in mountain properties. Please only flush toilet paper down toilets - never feminine products, wipes (even "flushable" ones), paper towels, or other items. Avoid pouring grease or food scraps down any drains. Septic repairs due to improper use require a minimum $250 service call. Thank you for helping us maintain the system!

Mountain Living & Wildlife

You're staying in the beautiful Smoky Mountains where black bears and other wildlife thrive, especially spring through fall. This is part of the authentic mountain experience! For your safety and theirs:

Never leave food, coolers, or trash outside (even briefly on the deck)
Store everything inside when not in use
Take all trash to the bear-proof dumpster by the EV charger before checkout
Keep all doors and windows locked when away and overnight

These simple steps protect both you and the cabin. Damage resulting from unsecured food/trash or unlocked entry points may result in repair charges.

Mountain Driving & Accessibility

Wears Valley Road is scenic but winding - drive carefully, especially at night or in rain/snow. The cabin driveway is accessible for most vehicles year-round, though 4WD/AWD is recommended during winter weather.

Wellness Amenity Safety (Ages 18+)

Sauna: Limit sessions to 15-20 minutes. Stay hydrated before and after. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, have cardiovascular conditions, or heat sensitivity. Use at your own risk.
Hot Tub: Limit soaking to 15-20 minutes to avoid overheating. No glass containers. Shower before entering. Stay hydrated before and after. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, have cardiovascular.

Weather & Connectivity

Mountain weather changes quickly - bring layers! Power outages during severe storms are rare but possible. Cell service can be spotty at the cabin - please connect to WiFi upon arrival to stay fully connected.

Seasonal Insects (Nature Notice)

Like all mountain properties, you may occasionally spot seasonal visitors: ladybugs and stink bugs in fall/winter, or common southern insects in summer. They're attracted to the warmth of cabins throughout the Smokies. We maintain regular professional pest control and thorough cleaning before every stay, but these insects can return quickly during peak seasons. Most guests don't encounter them, but we wanted you to know this is a normal part of mountain living!

Neighboring Properties

Evergreen Retreat is located in a quiet mountain community. While your experience will feel private and secluded, occasional neighboring cabins are visible in the distance, and you may hear sounds from nearby properties during your stay. Most guests find the area peaceful and serene.
